And so forth, while building the prospect of tomorrow, I loved the 2 of them.
Was it because of the other day’s punishment game? Laurier is obedient.
Nothing was said despite me mentioning the matter of service.
Sharon comes to service me undauntedly too.
Excellent!
Enjoying for some time, I left the room for the toilet while the 2 of them fell asleep.
That’s it.
How about now?
The corridor is dimly lit from the light of the candle.
No matter how you look at it, it wouldn’t be possible to be cleaning until night time.
Thinking so, I return to take the present for Mina.
Present in my hand, I suddenly noticed when I came out to the corridor again.
Huh?
Come to think of it, I wonder where Mina sleeps at?
Muuu.
Damn it.
Do I use search for search for places with people?
And, when I was thinking of that.
“Haruto-sama.”
I was suddenly called out from the back.
“Fuhaaa!?”
Although I didn’t shout, a shameful cry came out with my surprise.
I, I was startled…..
The source of that voice was Mina.
“Ah. I, I’m sorry.
For having shocked you…….”
In the middle of the gloomy corridor, Mina is visibly downhearted.
No, I am the only one being pathetic now.
However, although I did not use magic, to have my back taken so easily.
What a dreadful royal palace maid.
In fact, could she possibly be a secret agent maid that can erase all the traces of something?
“N, No, it isn’t the fault of Mina particularly.
In the middle of the night, I was at fault for being absent minded in the corridor.”
“No, but……”
“Apart from that, what is Mina doing in the middle of the night?”
Mina seems to want to add something, but I bring up a different subject.
“Yes. This is night patrolling.”
I see. Patrolling.
However, this is just right.
It’s only Mina and me now.
It’s an ideal opportunity to hand her the present.
“Erm, Haruto-sama.”
In the place where I made up my mind to make my move, Mina beat me to the punch.
Damn.
I am not going to fall behind, like losing the initiative today.
“Errr……the whole of today, um……M, My back seemed to be looked at all the time, was there anything?”
Eh?
M, Me following Mina’s back today, was it noticed?
Oh my god.
If it’s Japan here, it will be the place for the policeman’s ropes with the anti-nuisance ordinance.
“Ah, no, that……did you notice?”
“Yes……
W, When I was clearing up breakfast, at the time I was wiping the window, I could feel Haruto-sama’s gaze.
…….
Is it my gaze?
I wonder what kind of gaze she felt?
“I, Is that so……”
“…….Yes. Uh…..because of that, did I make any blunders?”
Mina asks uneasily.
A thing such as blunder is unthinkable.
Rather, it was splendid to the extent of admiration.
“N, No, it’s not such a thing at all.
There is something I want to hand Mina when your work reach a stage where you can pause, but I missed the timing however, while waiting.”
I say so, and pass the parcel in my hand.
“This is……?”
Mina who received it tilts her head looking puzzle.
“Well, that…..p, present……I think?”
I am somehow embarrassed, and says it facing the other way.
Why?
I was able to hand it to the other 3 normally.
“Present……”
Looking at the parcel, Mina mutters.
W, What is it I wonder?
You are not going to say you can’t accept it right?
Even though I was starting to get a little worried, such a thing didn’t happen.
“U, Um…… Thank you very much.
That, I’m very happy.”
Mina’s smile blooms.
And, she hugs the present to her chest delightedly.
The me who was feeling chocked up, embraces such a Mina.
“Ah…… U, Um, Haruto-sama?”
In my arms, Mina looks at me with upturned eyes.
Is she happy or shy? Her cat ears are [Pikupiku] twitching.
Cute.
And, I did not stop as expected.
Hearing from Mina, the 2 of us head towards Mina’s room
